employer to a current, permanent employee outlining the terms and conditions of a short-term, temporary change to their regular job duties or position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">It\u2019s used when an employee is asked to take on different responsibilities, a new role or a specific project for a defined period of time. This is a crucial document because it ensures clarity and mutual agreement regarding the temporary changes. It protects both the employer and the employee by clearly documenting how the assignment affects pay, duration, preventing potential disputes over compensation or job security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"626\" height=\"760\" src=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/10\/CA_Temporary-Assignment-Letter-Template.webp\" alt=\"CA Temporary Assignment Letter Template by 91±¬ΑΟ\" class=\"wp-image-7170\" srcset=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/10\/CA_Temporary-Assignment-Letter-Template.webp 626w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/10\/CA_Temporary-Assignment-Letter-Template-247x300.webp 247w, https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/10\/CA_Temporary-Assignment-Letter-Template-321x390.webp 321w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 626px) 100vw, 626px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is a temporary assignment?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">In simple language, a temporary assignment is when a permanent employee is moved into a different role, set of duties or project for a finite and predetermined amount of time. This differs from a <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/en-ca\/resources\/letter-of-promotion\/\">permanent promotion<\/a> or transfer, as the employee is expected to return to their original position and salary once the assignment concludes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When do employers need one?&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">Employers typically use a temporary assignment letter in common situations such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">\n<li><strong>Covering a leave of absence:<\/strong> Filling in for a colleague on maternity leave, long-term illness or other extended leave.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Special projects:<\/strong> Assigning an employee to a new, time-limited project (e.g., system upgrade, office relocation, market research).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Testing a new role:<\/strong> Allowing an employee to &#8220;try out&#8221; a new, potentially permanent position before committing to a full change.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Skill development:<\/strong> Providing an employee with a developmental opportunity to gain new skills and experience in a different area of the business.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>High-volume periods:<\/strong> Temporarily shifting an employee to an area experiencing a seasonal or unexpected surge in workload.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Temporary assignments: Legal requirements in Canada<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">In Canada, employment law is governed by both <strong>federal<\/strong> and <strong>provincial\/territorial<\/strong> legislation. Most private sector employees fall under provincial or territorial laws, specifically the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ontario.ca\/laws\/statute\/00e41\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Employment Standards Act (ESA)<\/strong><\/a> (or equivalent legislation) in each jurisdiction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key legal considerations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">When handling internal temporary assignments (where a current employee is moved), employers must be mindful of:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">\n<li><strong>Written documentation:<\/strong> While not always mandatory, having a written agreement (the temporary assignment letter) is a best practice. It protects against claims of &#8220;constructive dismissal&#8221; by showing the employee consented to the temporary change in duties, pay or location.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Maintaining statutory rights:<\/strong> The employee retains all minimum rights under the applicable provincial\/territorial Employment Standards Act, including rights related to vacation pay, public holidays, minimum wage and statutory leaves.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Compensation:<\/strong> If the temporary role is a higher position, most organizations will offer a higher rate of pay or a &#8220;pay premium&#8221; (often called acting pay or a secondment allowance) for the duration of the assignment. This should be clearly stated.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Termination\/Early end:<\/strong> The letter must clearly outline the conditions for ending the assignment early, including the required notice period. If the assignment ends early, the employee&#8217;s original position should still be available to them.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\"><strong>Note on Jurisdiction: <\/strong>For the majority of Canadian employers, the rules will be set by the provincial\/territorial Employment Standards Act (e.g., the <em>Employment Standards Act, 2000<\/em> in Ontario or the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nslegislature.ca\/sites\/default\/files\/legc\/statutes\/labour%20standards%20code.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Labour Standards Code<\/em><\/a> in Nova Scotia). The <a href=\"https:\/\/laws-lois.justice.gc.ca\/eng\/ACTS\/L-2\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Canada Labour Code<\/a> only applies to federally regulated industries (e.g., banks, inter-provincial transportation and telecommunications). Always consult the specific legislation for your province or territory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What should you include in a temporary assignment letter?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">To manage compliance and clarity, a well-drafted temporary assignment letter should cover the following key components:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. Employee and employer information<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">Clearly state the full legal name, address and contact information for both the employee and the employer (company).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Assignment term and dates<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">Specify the <strong>exact start date<\/strong> (e.g., <em>commencing January 1, 2026<\/em>) and the <strong>exact end date<\/strong> (e.g., <em>through until June 30, 2026<\/em>). If the end date is subject to change, include a clause addressing extensions or early termination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Temporary role, reporting structure and duties<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">Identify the <strong>Temporary Job Title<\/strong> and the name and title of the <strong>Manager<\/strong> the employee will report to during the assignment. Provide a <strong>brief description of the new duties<\/strong>, or refer to an attached document if the new role has a detailed job description.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4. Compensation and benefits<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">This is a critical section. Detail the <strong>Temporary Salary\/Wage<\/strong> for the duration of the assignment. Specify if this pay includes an &#8220;acting pay&#8221; premium. Confirm that all other benefits (e.g., health benefits, pension contributions) will <strong>remain unchanged<\/strong> as per the original employment contract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5. Return to original position<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">Include an explicit statement confirming that <strong>upon completion of the assignment, the employee will return to their original position and salary<\/strong> (e.g., &#8220;Upon completion of the assignment, you will return to your original position of [Original Job Title] and your original salary of [Original Salary]&#8221;). This is the core element that defines the assignment as temporary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>6. Entirety of contract<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">A clause stating that all other terms and conditions of the original employment contract <strong>remain in effect<\/strong> unless specifically varied by this temporary assignment letter. This maintains the original employment relationship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>7. Signature and acceptance<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">Provide a space for the employee to sign, date and confirm that they have read and <strong>agree to the terms<\/strong> of the temporary assignment. This transforms the letter from a mere notice into a binding agreement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Download our free temporary assignment letter template<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">Our free <strong>temporary assignment letter template<\/strong> is a legally sound, easy-to-use resource for Canadian employers.

If the end date is genuinely flexible, state this and detail the notice period required to confirm the termination, as this prevents an assumption of permanent employment.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Focus on the temporary nature:<\/strong> Use clear and consistent language to emphasize that this is a <strong>temporary<\/strong> change and that the <strong>original contract remains in force<\/strong>. This is the most crucial protective measure for the employer.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Consult provincial ESA:<\/strong> Before finalizing the compensation or notice terms, quickly review the termination provisions in your province\u2019s Employment Standards Act. Ensure the notice period you offer (for an early end to the assignment) meets or exceeds the minimum statutory requirement for termination of employment.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Define &#8220;Reporting to&#8221;:<\/strong> Clearly state who the employee&#8217;s operational supervisor will be and who handles administrative functions (like vacation approvals or performance reviews). These two roles may be different during a temporary assignment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other important considerations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Tips for managing temporary assignments<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">\n<li><strong>Performance reviews:<\/strong> Decide upfront how performance will be reviewed during the assignment. Will the temporary manager provide feedback? Will this feedback affect the employee&#8217;s overall annual review for their permanent role? Documenting this process helps manage employee expectations.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Training and support:<\/strong> For the assignment to be successful, ensure the employee receives all necessary training and resources for their new, temporary duties. Documenting this training can also be an important part of your internal skills development strategy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Communicate to the team:<\/strong> Inform the employee&#8217;s original team and the team they are joining about the assignment, its purpose and its duration. This manages workflow and minimizes confusion about the employee&#8217;s current reporting structure and responsibilities.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ensure a smooth transition with our downloadable template&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">A well-executed <strong>temporary assignment letter<\/strong> is an essential tool for Canadian employers, offering a formal, compliant and professional way to manage short-term staffing changes.
